Hi,

Could you please confirm if the version 5 menus are 508 compliant. I am keenly looking for access to menu items through keyboard. Are there any built in functions that handle this? If not, it would be great if you could give me clues on how to go about proving keyboard access ( using tabs ) on the menu items.

Thanks.

Full 508 compliance is high on the development list (I need it, too!), and I know Andy has been working on it. Perhaps he'll step in and give us an update.

I will contact him directly as well.

Literally talking to Andy now as we speak. Try adding the keypress.js module as the last item in your JS calls group. Use the tab key to move around.

Let us know how it goes.

I have two horizontal menus, one above the other. Keypress works on the top one, but doesn't then move on to the one below it.

Thanks, Stephen. Andy said it wasn't quite done, but "very close". There are tree menu issues as well.

Hi

I did include the keypress.js file as the last file. Still not able to access the menu items using tab.

Am i supposed to invoke any function in particular in my code?
Sorry if i'm being dumb.

Thanks.

No, nothing else needed.
